It is important to recognize and value the practices and patterns that EAL or ESL students use in order to effectively teach them content literacy in English.

Language Learner students may require additional assistance from teachers in the form of visual and kinesthetic learning in order to advance towards content literacy in an English-based curriculum. 

Understanding  and being proficient in academic language is important for content literacy and engaging in society on a larger scale. ]]> 2018-06-02 20:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172063 dejawargocole https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172433 It is important to facilitate an environment that is both challenging, yet appropriate for Language Learners. For example, depending on the amount of acquisition that a Language Learners possess, it is encouraged that a student complete assignments in their native language first and then communicating their work in English once they are more proficient or have the means to translate it. Other examples include interactive games, images, and modeling proper speaking and grammar through listening. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172433 dejawargocole https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172599 It is important to recognize that each student will approach their academic endeavors in a manner that aligns with their cultural beliefs. Because student success depends on what they deem important information that will be useful to their lived experiences, teachers should seek to understand the various cultures that are brought to their classrooms and shape their curriculum in a manner which can be received well by each student and the cultures that exist within the classroom. This can be accomplished through Critical Literacy (enables students to critique agendas and information of popular culture from a social justice standpoint) and facilitating a Culturally Conscious classroom. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172599 dejawargocole https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172804 Creating an effective content area lesson consists of three psychological principles in the comprehension process which includes how students have historically acquired new information, what the teacher expects to be learned in the lesson, and how the information will be organized to encourage long term retention. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172804 dejawargocole https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172998 Include:

Text Explicit Comprehension which involves questioning whose answers can be found directly in the text. 

Text Implicit Comprehension which involves questioning whose answers not found directly within the text, but from inferences that can be made from the content within the text. 

Experience Based Comprehension which involves questioning which requires reference to previous knowledge and experience in order to be answered. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265172998 dejawargocole https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265173291 Encouraging students to conduct their own research using multiple online sources is important in creating an unbiased perception and understanding of the content as a whole.  By conducting independent research, students will be able to analyze what information is biased and what information includes factual based research. It also allows the student to discipline themselves and self-regulate themselves in their studies by independently refraining from the limitless distractions that exist on the Internet.

- Anticipation Guides
    - Help identify major concepts
    - Identify student beliefs that may be challenges through controversial texts
    - Allows students to engage in discussions which encourage them to begin thinking critically about concepts relevant to the text. 

Reading Strategies:
-Study Guides
     - Allow students to keep up with the information presented in the text by continuously answering questions or filling in the blanks with information that can be found directly  or inferred in the text while reading. 
 - Should mirror the thought process of the student while they are reading the text. 

Post Reading:
-Small Groups
     - Facilitate peer discussions and reviews by allowing students to work independently in small groups which discuss information relevant to the text and its concepts. 
-Reaction Groups
 -Allows students to reassess pre reading anticipation guides and 
reexamine your beliefs on a topic. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dejawargocole/qxskn50ffoiq/wish/265173624
